To all whom it may concern: column, a radial arm extending therefrom Be it known that l, JOHN linDnLL, a citiand mounted with respect thereto to permit zen of thc United States, residing at Schenecof a relative turning movement, a cutter tady, county of Schenectady, State of New and a carriage therefor mounted at the end York, have invented certain new and useful of the arm, and a suitable pOWer-trans- 50 Improvements in illilling-Machines, oli' which mitting system for operating the cutter. the following is a specification. rlhe bese of the column of the machine 'italy invention relates to metal. working lits in the shaft opening of the bucketi'nachines, and relates more particularly to Wheel, and in order to adapt the machine .lo a machine for finishing the buckets of elastic for inishing wheels of different sizes, inter- 65 fluid turbines, although it is not limited in all changeable columns are employed. respectsv to this use.

Obviously, this is a slow ner to permit of its being reciprocated for the and expensive operation, requiring a large Working strokes, and also 'for being moved to number of hands for the Work and a considdilerent radial distances so as to adapt the erable outlay for illes. Moreover, hand- 'machine for iinishing the buckets ci' Wheels ol Work is to a greater or less extent inaccurate different radii. To set the cutter for iinishso and ununiform; this being highly objectioning surfaces of any desired angle, the arm is able because it directly ailectsthc economy adjusted on its axis as well as laterally.

When the cutter reaches the root of. tliekbuclret, the lever is reversed, whereby the cutter is Withdrawn. The Wheel or the machine is 'then turned in order to present the next bucket to the cutter, which is finished in the same manner. The operation is thus continued until the dat surfaces oi' the buckets on one side of the Wheel are finished, Whereu on the Wheel is reversed and the machine a `'usted to iinish the other flat surfaces of the buckets.

For a more detailed understanding of the invention, reference is to be made to the iol.- lowing descri tion, and the sco Ae oi the invention Will e set forth in t e appended claims.

in the accom anying drawings, which illustrate one em odiment of the invention, Figures l and 2 are perspective viewsfobserved 'from different points', of a milling inachine shown in operating osition on a turbine bucket Wheel; Fig; 3 is a ongitudinal section oi' a cutter carriage, and the adjacent portion oi the arm. supporting the same; Fig. l is a transverse section ol the erm taken on line on line 5-5,.l"ig. 3, and showin@ the cutter carriage in elevation g llig. 6 is a ongitudinal section of the supporting column, showing the bearing construction' of 'the machine; Fig. 7 is a plan vier/v of the cutter-carrying arm and the means for adjusting the same laterally on the supporting column; Fig. 8 is .a detail view o' the cutter and Fig. 9 is a ,View illustrating a section of a bucket Wheel with certain of the buckets in nished and untinished condition, and the cutter dressing in the present instance, the buclet Wheel i is shown blocked up on the table or worlo holder in a horizontal and iXed position, with ythe milling machine mounted thereon in such 'a manner as to be revolved on the axis of the Wheel forpresenting the cutter successively to the buckets. The Wheel ma holder or table so as to turn, and it may turn in either a horizontal or vertical plane. In the latter case the milling machine is mount ed in iixed position, and the wheel is mov-- ably supported in proper relationthereto.

The machine is supported in position von a is provided at its base with shoulders 8 und 4 of different diameters, the lower one of which lits the shaft-opening 5 of the bucket Wheel, 'while the upper one, being of larfger diameter, rests upon the up er surface ci the Wheel and supports the oo umn in lined position. The column forms an interchangeable part the ma 1rine, bucket wheels bevi shc different diari.

'andi-7. -the same 1s mounts from one another, only in respect to the diameters of the shoulders 3 and 4, While the diameter of the shaft proper is uniform or standard for a single machine. 0n the column 2 a radial cutter-carrying arm 6 is mounted so as to pivot thereon, Figs. l, 2 in order to ermit the arm to turn, on the column 2 by means of a hollow column '.7, which forms a rigid part of the arm, and Which snugly nts the inner column so as to prevent any apreciable play on the latter and consequent ,vibration during the cutting stroke. The lower end of the hollow column rests upon anti-friction balls 8, Fic. 6, that are held in a race 9 formed yon-the Ashoulder 3. The arm extends from the supporting column in a direction substantially parallel 'with the plane of the wheel, and at its outer end is mounted a tool or cutter carriage 10. This end of the arm is formed into a yoke 11, Fi s. l and 3, in Which the cutter-carriage is he d, and theA longitudinal dimension of the openingof the yoke extends parallel with the axis of the arm, so that the carriage may be reciprocated in a direction to insure a radial cut.

The carria e comprises a head l2, which is opposite sides oi the head, which are prefera hanging projections 17 at op osite sides oi the head, that engade With t e upper surfaces ofthelwebs an a removable plate 18, secured to the under side of the head, 'which engages at its two op osite ends the under edges of the Webs. he up er and lower edgesoi the Webs are bevele and carefully finished, and the bearing surfaces of the overhanging projections 17 and ofi the plate 18 are correspondingly shaped to fit the said beveled edges of the webs. The under plate is secured 1n position by means of bolts 19 that screw into the head, and b the removal of which the head can be ta en fromv the yolr. The cutter spindle 14 is adapted to movelngitudinall in the head vflth the sleeve 13, and for t is purpose it-is heldI in the latter between a driving Wheel or pulley 20, which is keyed at the .upper end or' 'the s indie, and the'cutter lwhich screws on tie lower end thereof, Fig. 3.3 The cutter its) A*thread of the spindle, as the direction of rotation for the cut operates to retain the cutter in place.

To adjust theA sleeve and spindle in the head, the sleeve is provided with a rack 23,

Fig; 3, with which meshes a pinion 24 that is adapted to be manually operated. The inion is mounted en -av shaft 25 ournaledin ugs 2G that are formed on a tubular extension 27 ot the head, Figs. 3 and 5. lfhe tubular exlL ension is provided with a slot 28 Fig. 3, registering with. the rack and in which the pinion extends to mesh. -Withfthe latter. The end 29 of the shaft of thehpiiiion is squared so to receive an operating crank. Thus by actuating the pinion the cuttor-carrying` spindle and sleeve may be moved longitudinally for adjusting the cutter with respect to the work. 'lo reciprocate the carriage in the yoke `for performing the cutting and return strokes, a manually-actuated lever 30 is ar-' ranged at the end ol the arm and which con- Ynects with the bead by a rod 3l, Figs. l and 3.

The rod extends through an opening in the end-plate 32 of the yoke, and its outer end is bilurcated to receive the lever 30 to which it is hinged. The lever is fulcruined, as a lever of the first order, on a bracket 33, Figs. l and 2, and its outer end extends to a point convenient to the operator.

The. cutter-carrying spindle may be driven in any desired manner. l prefer to rotate the same by means of an electric motor 34, which. transmits power from its shaft pulley 35 to the .Wheel 2O on the upper end of the spindle by a belt or cable 36. The motor is secured on a top-plate 37 at the upper end of the hollow column 7, and is securely bolted in place, Figs. l and 2. Arranged in this manner the machine, and the power-trans,- mitting mechanism therefor, constitute a sin- 'le erta-ble structure which is readily assem- Jle on the Work or bucket wheel and removed therefrom.

in order that the cutter may be set to 'hnish surfaces of different angles, the driving belt is of sui'icient length to permit the driving Wheel on the cutter carrying spindle to assume any position within the range of angular adjustment of the cutter. An -idler is employed to take up the slack in the belt for the various adjustments and to maintain the belt in frictional engagement with the driving Wheel. In the preferred manner of running thebelt a distance pulle f 38 is provided, Figs.' l and 2, which is supported at the outer end of the cutter-car rying arm. T he belt passes from the motor pulley around the distance pulley, and the driving Wheel 2O is disposed between them, with the two lengths of the belt engaging With it at dliam'etrically opposite points. The idler 39 is arrangtd so as to o crate on the belt between the driving whee and the distance pulley and with the pertain lille 1305i tion shown, Fig. 2 the belt is running in the direction indicated by the arrow, Fig. 2. The drivingr wheel, the idler and distance pulley are arranged to rotate in a common plane, so that the alincment oi the belt in the grooves ol" these several members may be insured. As the driving Wheel is carried by the cutter spindle, any longitudinal adjustment of the latter for setting` the cutter varies the relation of the driving;l wheel to the distance pulley and idler, so that the latter have to be adjusted also. For this purpose the distance pulley 38, Fig. 2, is mounted upon an arbor l0 that is adjusted alongr its axis in a socket 41 ot a bracket 42 that is rigidly fixed to the outer end et the cutte.1cariying,r arm. By this arranffement, the distance pull ey may be raised or owered for the change in position of the driving Wheel. rlhc idler is carried at the outer end ci" an arm or bracket 43 that is arranged on the sleeve of the cutter spindle so as to be movable therewith. The idler is thus maintained in the same plane with the driving v'heel. t is angularlyadj usted, however, on tlLl sleeve, so as to take up the proper position for vany particular angular adjustment of the cutter for varying the tension of the belt. To )ermit of this adjustment7 the inner end of tie bracket for the idler is provided with an eye le that 'fits around the sleeve and by means of a set-'screw 45 carried by the eye and impinging on the sleeve thev bracket is held in 'fixed position, Fig. 2.

W hen it is desired to finish the flat surfaces of buckets ot different shapes or angles, it is necessary to accordingly set the cutter. rlhis done by adjusting the cutter-carrying arm about its axis. The point vof adjust ment is preferably between the hollow column and the inner end el the arm. 't is to be noted that the perpendicular dist-ance bctween the axis of the arm and the plane ot the wheel is constant. Hence, in order to set the cutter to operate at ditl'erent angles with respect to the plane ot thejnfheel and yet insure its moving in a radial direction on f the cutting stroke, the arm must'ibev shifted in one direction. or the other relatiwly to a radial position. rovision is thus necessary for axial and lateral'adjustment of' the arm. As shown in Figs. l and 7, a laterally adjustable carrier or support 46 is provided between the arm and the hollow column. The supporting arm is mounted on the carrier to be adjusted laterally therewith, and also to be turned axially. The column has secured to or cast integral therewith a dovetail guideway 47, the center lino ot Which is'parallel with the plane ci the wheel. The adjacent side ot the carrier 46 is provided With a dovetail projectionfi?" which interlocks in the guide-way of the'celunin. To move the carrier and the arri; supported thereon a screw 'is employed. This is supported in a lat- ;erallgf extending bracket 49 on the holler:

column, Figs. 2 and 7, and it turns freely in s bearing 51 in e bracket; butis prevented from moving therein in the direction of its axis. Y The inner end ofthe screw screws into u tapped opening of the block. 52rbolted to the side of the carrier. The outer end of the screw is squared to receive c starting-crunk, whereby it is turned for moving the carrier laterally on the columns. i

To sdjustsbly secure the erm to the cerrier the inner end is formed with s plete 53,

Figsl, 2 and 7, which is )rovided with are shaJ ed slots, 54, and bolts 55 itted with was iers 56 extend. through theslots and screw into the carrier to secure the erm to the letter. By loosening the belts, the erm may be turned to set the cutter to any positiondesired, end by tightening the bolts the erm is secured in such position. To facilitate this adjustment, the upper surfaces of the carrier and the late 53 are finished on the saine radius, en s seele is rovided on one or the other, es shown in gig. 7. The length of the src-shaped slots in the plete 53 determines the range of adjustment of the erm on its exis. Phe-se slots muy be ranged to permit of the maximum adjustment of the erin, but in the present cese, s. second point of adjustment 1s yprovided for increasing the rango. `For this .purpose the erm is mede in two sections, en inner section '57 end en outer er "yoke section 58, i

and 7, The adjacent ends of the sections ere 4termed 'with plates 59 end 60, und 'the' adjustable connection between them is simi ler to that between the carrier it end the in ner section of `the arm. 'The sections ere, therefore, independently edjustebie.

ln operation the erm is first adjusted on its exis to obtsin the proper envie for the exis of the cutter-carrying spindle. After this is esceitsined,4 the erm is adjusted leterelly and the cutvterspindle adjusted longi tudinelly relatively to the Work, and these adjustments are mede by trici until s posi tion. of the cutter is arrived et that will insure s perfectly radial stroke for the cutter end e, out of the properdepth. The cutting stroke begins et the outer end of the bucket, end to make the stroke the opera-tor presses the le ver which moves the carriage with the cutter inwardly on one bucket at c time. When the root of the bucket is reached the stroke is reversed by theo ierator, whereby the cutter is returned to the storting iositiou. The machine is thon turned c suil icient distance to pro-sent the cutter to the next `bucket to bo in turn Iinished. ln this manner the flut surfaces ol' .sil the buckets on one side of the Wheel :1ro -iinishod successively. After they erciinishcrl, tho machine is removed from the wheel by the shop-crane, the wheel tu rnod over, und the machine replaced in position. As the ist surfaces on the second sido of the wheel srs disposed et e. corre spending angle to e perpendicular to the' plane of the Wheel, the erm has to be turned ou its axis so that the cutter msyoperate et thepro er angle.' After its adjustment isl i'sces o'r' the -bucketssre all vfinished 'st e uniform angle, and es no adjustment of the cutter is necessary sfter beginning the operation of finishing, the buckets ere pre served uniform in size.

The invention 1s shown in connection lwth s turbine Wheel com osed of a, fiat disk with integral and ra islly extending buckets. When cest motel uckets are to he machined, the ring or segment thereof can either be mounted on the wheel that is j,

to carry them or upon a suitable support. This support muy bein the form of 's disk, ring or segment theref und should coniorm es closely es possible to the normal wheel. The machine may also he used to inish the so-celled stetionury or intermediete buckets, Suitable `modiueetions mcy-ne made in the machine to `permit ci finishing buckets ci other construction than that shown.
